What does Maven classify as cheating?

Created by Sebastian Anthony, Modified on Wed, 21 May at 9:43 AM by Sebastian Anthony

Cheating: Using The Demo Trader inefficiencies such as High-Frequency Trading, Toxic Trading Order Flow, Long/Short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, and server execution. You cannot copy trade from another individual, if found, both users will be breached.


Reverse/Group Hedging: Using your account to bet in one direction on a singular trade against another account, as this is an attempt at reversing the trade of another account for a 100% chance of winning. 


Hedging: You cannot exclusively hedge through a challenge or live account. Numerous malicious EA hedging bots aim to exploit the demo-trading environment, and we cannot accurately copy your trading onto a live server. If we see your account is exclusively hedging, we will ask you to provide the EA you have used (if applicable).


EA: EAs are not permitted under any circumstances across all our platforms.


Gamifying: An attempt to not trade and just play random odds of winning, betting solely on the maximum drawdown/take profits of the challenge. This is not trading, this is gamifying the challenge.


Note: A ‘trade’ can be determined as a position held by the trader on a specific pair. ‘Trade’ may be one or multiple entries with similar timings and lot sizes. A trade could be determined by multiple entries on the same pair at the same time. Trades with vastly smaller lot sizes will NOT count as a trade. If your account is flagged, you must rerun the challenge.


Your account will be terminated if you perform any of these actions.
